Barely started and already lost

ID cards are still slowly being rolled out by the Stasi. The level is so low that everyone thinks they have been stopped but that is not so.

So knowing that there are some out there, the fact it is government run, and that everything the government does falls apart and fails, I’m [...]

Taking vaccines to point of use

One of the things that first surprised me was the fact that we give billions of pounds away every year in aid to the third world and yet despite all this we still have not rid these people of some of the most basic diseases.

Now of course I know it is incompetence and corruption that [...]

Lost opportunities

One of the issues that arise from have a government that wraps everyone in cotton wool and restricts what they can buy, what they can do and what they should think is that they stifle the natural innovation that everyone has. Because they can no longer get access to the tools or the materials [...]

Silencing dissent

Technology is great for getting the wordout and bypassing censorship in really bad countries like China, North Korea and the UK.

However it seems that there are some areas when even technology can’t help but instead is used against freedom.

Read here at Guido’s, albeit a bit late, about the Stasi clamping down on people stirring up [...]

Why are we waiting?

It seems that every time we look around there is something that will change the way we live. Either making life easier or making it longer or something.

Now I realise that as a species we have stagnated due to the political situation on the planet. With socialists in charge no one wants [...]

The wonders of technology

It seems our power crazy masters have spent a fortune on yet another fiasco. Echelon doesn’t quite come up to spec for those terrorists that are stupid enough to use phones to communicate their dastardly plans. It can’t understand the words if the line isn’t perfect. Unbelievable.

So the real bad [...]

How the West is moving to third world status

Well, it seems while the rest of the world pulls itself out of poverty and plans for the future the West is planning it’s way into third world status. I say third world because we don’t have a fourth world status yet. At least until we get there and create one.

Watch and [...]

Targeting the motorist

Even Cameron is in support of picking on the easy targets; the motorist but I think this trial takes things a step too far and brings a new meaning to the words ‘targeting the motorist’.

How long realistically before we see missiles attached to these systems. For Anti-Terror operations only of course.

Funding issues

EADS Astrium is again looking at the idea of collecting solar power from space. H/T Ivan. Power that will be significantly cheaper than any solar power collected on Earth. Personally, bar fusion or one of the newer technologies, I think it is the best way forward and we should [...]

The UN of Science

There is a proposal going around to create a UN type body looking after Science. Read here.

Like the UN itself it sounds a good idea on paper. An independent global body to prioritise research and scientific endeavour to improve the human race.

Sadly, it shows its true potential in the very first [...]
